Chapter 11

What Now?

"So what are you gonna do?" Sango asked Kagome.

"I don't know Sango, I really don't know," Kagome said with her heads in her hands starting to cry again.

"Well do you think that he means it?"

"Yes Sango, I do. It's just that I don't want to go back there and things are the same. I mean, he's right in a way. I haven't done a lot of things lately, and I'm blaming my laziness on the baby. But there are certain things I cannot do. My lower back is killing me. I really can't clean and stuff. I can, but it can't be done before Inuyasha gets home from work like he wants it too."

"Have you told Inuyasha this?"

"I've tried. But every time I bring it up to him he always spazes at me. I don't know why but he does."

"Do you think that the baby has brought some extra stress to Inuyasha's life?" Sango asked with one of her eyebrows raised.

"I don't know how, the baby isn't born yet."

"But the thing is, he's trying to work as much as he can so when the baby does get here you two can still live comfortably while raising your baby together."

"What?" Kagome looked at Sango puzzled, like she didn't hear the information from Inuyasha before her.

"Um..." Sango started realizing her mistake. "Nothing, I didn't say anything. Just forget anything that you might have heard. Please Kagome, just forget it."

"Forget it? How can I honestly forget it? That solves everything. No wonder why he's been so stressed out lately. That explains so much. Sango, I love you, and thank you for letting me stay, but I don't think that I will have to stay here tonight. If things go back to how they were, or worse, you'll be the first to know. And next time, I won't be giving Inuyasha a second chance." And before Sango could say anything back to Kagome she was already out the door.

Kagome rushed home, and once she got there she left her suitcase in her car and ran inside. Inuyasha was still sitting on the couch when Kagome got there, and he was reading a manga.

"I'm sorry about earlier Inuyasha. I shouldn't have left you. I should have just cooled off in the bedroom and then came back out into the living room so we could talk out our problems calmly." Kagome said standing in the doorway to the living room.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said looking up from his book.

"Yes, I'm here." Kagome said with a smile on her face.

Inuyasha dropped his book on the couch and ran up to Kagome and picked her up into a swinging hug. "I am so glad that your back, I thought that I was going to lose you forever because of my stupidity. Kagome, please don't do that to me again. I need you. I don't know what I would do without you. So can you please promise me that you will never run out on me like that again? Please."

"I promise Inuyasha. I just wish that you would have told me why you were stressing out so bad. I would have understood. I didn't know that you were working yourself to the bone. And please don't be mad at Sango. She didn't mean to tell me, it just kinda slipped out."

"I wanted to tell you Kagome, but I also didn't want you to talk me out of doing something that I feel like I need to do, not only for the baby, but for us. We need to have a lot of money saved up. Babies aren't a walk in the park, they are expensive human beings."

"I know Inuyasha, and that's why I'm not going to try and talk you out of this. I actually think that this is a very good idea. This way we can start shopping and preparing now, and then we can save whatever is left over for when the baby actually does come." Kagome said with a big smile.

"So you're not regretting that we're having a baby or anything?" Inuyasha asked a little concerned.

"Nope, not at all. I think that we're a little too young to be having a baby, and I wish that we were married first, but I guess this is just as good of time as any. I mean at least it's not from a one night stand or anything. And at least the baby is yours and not Hojo's." Kagome said trying to reassure Inuyasha that she didn't have any regrets about their decision months prior.

Right now Kagome was three months along, and things seemed to go very slow in Kagome's eyes. She felt like she should be giving birth to her baby any day now, not in seven more months. But at least the baby was doing fine, and developing properly. Kagome was very proud of that fact. She was so scared that her baby might be born prematurely, or with some defect, but at the moment, the doctors couldn't notice anything that would make Kagome's fear real.

Kagome had told all of her friends about this, and the only one that wasn't happy for her was Faith. She was completely jealous, and she thought that Hojo and she should be having a baby, not her. In Faith's eyes, since Hojo and she were together longer than what Kagome and Inuyasha was, Faith thought that she should be the one that had this honor, not Kagome. Faith was determined to destroy Kagome's happiness, even if it meant that she would wind up in jail for it.

Faith had many things come to her mind, but she didn't want to do any killing, she didn't want any blood on her hands. Something to plague her conscience until the day she died. She didn't want to have something to confess on her death bed, something that she needed to apologize for. As long as she didn't do something too horrible she really didn't care. Her major idea was dressing up like Kagome after she left to go to the store or something, then act like she didn't want to go without a little quickie first.

Faith stalked Kagome and Inuyasha for about a week before she finally decided to make her move. She saw Kagome get into her car and Inuyasha kiss her goodbye. As soon as Kagome drove out of the driveway, and Inuyasha went back inside Faith went to the porch and entered the house. Faith was so relieved that Inuyasha didn't lock the front door or she would have thought of a good lie to let her inside.

"Inuyasha, I changed my mind. I can leave until we have a little quickie first." Faith said in a voice that sounded almost like Kagome's.

"But Kagome you are going to be late for your doctor's appointment." Inuyasha said like he thought like it was a bad idea.

"I know, but I need you Inuyasha, come here and take me." Faith persuaded him.

Those words were too deadly for Inuyasha to avoid. He walked up to Faith and was about to kiss her when Kagome came into the house.

"I forgot my medical card, Inuyasha, do you know where it is?" Kagome said looking up from her purse, noticing that there was a look-a-like in the house.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her puzzled.

"Yes Inuyasha, it's me, the mother of your child. But who is that?" Kagome asked pointing to Faith.

"I don't know, I could have sworn that it was you. Who else would just walk into our house like that?"

"I don't know Inuyasha, but we're about to find out." Kagome walked up to the imposter and took off the wig. Once the hair was exposed Kagome knew who is was and didn't hesitate to bitch slap her either. "What the fuck are you trying to do Faith?"

"I'm trying to ruin your life."

Author's Note: I know, it's another short chapter, but I wanted to leave it with a cliff hanger so I thought that this would be the best spot to leave it off at. I hope you liked it, and I hope that I will be able to update this again in about a week or two.
